Yes, it is unnecessary, if you start the sentance off without it, it normally makes it a more direct point. I see it as a affectation to attempt to take any sting out of a statement, like people or have to point ‘lol’ or examination points at the end as they want a friendly tone. We are becoming soft with our language.

and that is the problem with the phrase - we won't! You have to win the winnable games because they're few and far between. We'll get turned over a few times in the next 6 games and we will be needing more than a point a game to stay up

A draw is better for the side higher up the table. Another week goes by when a relegation rival hasn’t gained any ground. We should of won, but we didn’t, so not losing is acceptable at this stage.

Yeah, but I think the point is the bottom.3 are closer to us than they were 8 days ago, is what he's saying. I think we were 5/6 above the drop zone, now it's 3 and that's after 2 of our most winnable remaining fixtures. Looks like we're at least dipping back onto the bottom 3 one more time before May, let's hope it's not on the final day....
